Women's Bowling Ranked 19th in the USBC

In the latest United States Bowling Congress power rankings of the season, the Muskingum women's bowling team earned the No. 19 spot, continuing to establish itself as one of the top programs in the nation.

The Muskies have been dominant throughout the season, posting runner-up finishes at both Ohio Bowling Conference events. Their consistency has also been on display at major tournaments, including a third-place finish at the Muskie Mash.

Most recently, they started 2026 at the Stardust Bowl in Addison, Illinois, at the Kegel ISBPA Collegiate Classic.

The women opened up with an 842 in the first team game and added 840 in games 2 and 3 to sit in 22nd after 3 games. They battled hard to move up to 19th after the conclusion of the "A" Squad with 4347 pins after games of 915 and 910.

The Muskies were led by junior Tayler Clark, who finished with a 937 across five individual games for a 67th-place finish. Sophomore Faith Smith added 921 across five games to finish 80th out of 403 bowlers.

Muskingum looks to have a strong finish to a historical season thus far.
